Star Wars Insider

Redirected from The Lucasfilm Fan Club Magazine

Star Wars Insider is the official magazine and traces its lineage right back to the Official Star Wars Fan Club and it's successor, Bantha Tracks.

In 1994 the Lucasfilm Fan Club Magazine was rebranded the Star Wars Insider to coincide with the release of the TIE Fighter videogame from Lucasarts.

It was announced at Celebration IV that the Star Wars Insider would be moving to a new publisher, Titan Magazines the UK-based company who are the worlds largest publisher of genre magazines.

In April 2008, Star Wars Insider published its 100th issue, following the North American numerical system which differs significantly from it's UK counterpart. Since Star Wars Insider 107 it has been edited by Jonathan Wilkins.
